Isla Fisher and Kate Ritchie have reunited in London for the ultimate girls trip before Christmas.
The two actresses, who both starred alongside each other on Home and Away in the ’90s, are still close friends more than two decades after they starred together as teenagers on the Channel Seven soap opera.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Isla shared a selfie of the former co-stars together, which Kate later re-shared.
‘Cozy London nights,’ Isla, 48, captioned her photo, while Kate, 46, added: ‘The most wonderful time of year is true this year.’
Isla hinted at a reunion with Kate earlier this month after revealing the radio presenter was her ideal travel companion.
Speaking to 9Honey Celebrity earlier this month, the Now You See Me star admitted she didn’t want to offend any other Aussie friends but picked Kate.

‘I’m really good friends with lots of Aussies,’ she told the outlet.
‘I love Kate Ritchie.’
In 2021, the pair proved they were still close friends when they reunited at Isla’s 45th birthday party in Sydney.
At the time, Kate thrilled fans on Instagram by sharing a selfie of the duo, which she captioned: ‘Still making me giggle like a naughty teenager after all these years… Thank you, Isla.’
‘You are one of the best,’ she added, alongside cake and love-heart emojis.
Isla, who has had huge success in Hollywood, joined the cast of Home and Away in 1994 at the age of 19.
She left the show in 1997, then moved to America.
Her big break came in 2005 with the release of romantic comedy Wedding Crashers, also starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn.

Kate made her debut on Home and Away in 1987 at the tender age of eight, and officially left the soap in 2008.
It comes amid Isla’s split with Sacha Baron Cohen, as they announced in April that they had quietly separated last year.
The couple announced the news by sharing a picture of themselves together wearing tennis gear and using the sport as a metaphor for the marriage.
Their statement read: ‘After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down.
‘In 2023 we jointly filed to end our marriage. We have always prioritised our privacy and have been quietly working through this change.
‘We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family’s wish for privacy.’
The now estranged pair met at a party in Australia in 2002 before getting engaged in 2004.
Fisher, who compared meeting the actor to ‘winning the lottery’ converted to Judaism before they tied the knot in Paris, France, at a Jewish ceremony in March 2010.

Ten years later, they moved to Sydney in December 2020 after splitting their time between the US and UK before later relocating to Western Australia.
Fisher, who was raised in Perth from the age of six, opened up about the move in 2021, telling Stellar magazine she feels safer in her native Australia.
‘I just feel so safe, I suppose the word is cozy, when I’m in Australia. It’s where I grew up,’ she said.
‘I’m the happiest when I’m home. I miss it when I’m not here. I don’t feel any pressure when I’m in Australia. I don’t have to say or do or be anything.
‘I mean, I don’t even have to wear shoes.’
There were also reports at the time that the political situation in the US was behind their relocation.
‘They didn’t want to raise their kids in Trump’s America,’ an insider told Sydney Morning Herald in January 2021.
